I tried again inserting a flash drive into my OTG cable and searched around using the ES File Explorer app. I found the drive inside the "udisk" folder where I can see all the files on the drive. I haven't yet tried to play music from that or move files to the sd card. At least I can confirm that an external USB drive does show using the OTG cable. As I can get about all the music I want on the player and sd card, I don't have much incentive to use the cable and external USB drive for additional storage.

As for the Hub, it would have to be externally powered as you really don't want the DX100 powering the hub but unfortunatly that defeats the purpose.

The HDD is no different than flash as it is presented in the same context from a hardware perspective.

ie meaning if you have a 3tb drive... it should work. Issue will be power. Flash can run off usb power with no issue. Magnetic drives..not so much

The OTG cables are very inexpensive, less than $10, IIRC.

im almost certain if you see them you will be able to play them

Its not so much the price for me but access to them , i dont have a credit card ne more

i dont drive and am presently about a 40 min + drive from some what of a city .Where

so far best buy nor futureshop have these items . so when i do get one i need to be

certain its going to work

Cheers mates

Owch never thought of that. Man the battery in this thing is weak enough w/out powering

an external device LOL i wonder if such a battery is/will ever be upgradable ?

The battery, I believe, is made for the DX100. As they get nano tubes able to be used in batteries, the current reserve should be at least 10 fold over current batteries. But maybe by the time they get nan tubes to that point, something else will come along.

The good news is that 8.4v is standard in the RC world. The issue will be the MaH needed.

mAh was given by iBasso to me on e-mail - 2400mAh. Note though 8.4V at least to my knowledge, is quite non-standard for the Lipo world. Consumer Lipo cells are in multiples of 3.7V. Having said that, none of my Lipo cells were every accurately in 3.7V multiples. At least in Tokyo most of the RC stuff are Lipos or LifePO4 which puts them into the 3.7V and 3.3V respectively although older NiMH/NiCad 1.2V cell multiples do still exist.

edit: iBasso site puts it at 2000 mAh

3.7v/2000 mAh x 2 (series).

the bbmbattery has each at

4.8mm thickness assuming the right thickness. 60mm W x 65mm L

there is a 3800mAh battery that is 4.9mm thick.. the other dimensions are 66mm W x 100mm H.

under high temp apps

there is a 5000 mAh 3.7

8.9mm thick, 64mm W x 73.4mm L

looking at all the lipo.. apparently with the blaancer in place, they can be charged to 4.2v without an issue.
